Vanishing Acts

Update:
I don't think I can read Jodi Picoult's books anymore. Honestly? They totally depress me. I was in a slump the whole time I read this book and have lots of great and exciting things happening in my life right now, including warm, sunny weather. So I have no reason to slump. Neither should you. So don't read this book.

Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult

Part of me thought I should be embarassed that I was reading this book and that I was going to actually post it and admit that I was reading it but then I thought - this is MY book club and MY blog! I can read whatever I want! I equate Jodi Picoult's books to John Grisham's. They're pretty melodramatic and usually involve some sort of lawsuit and in the end the villian's actions are justified and everything turns out ok in the end. She's a decent writer and they are entertaining. And while I would probably benefit from reading something a little more meaningful, my brain is pretty full these days with house obsessions/dreams (is it so wrong that I go on Google Maps everyday to look at my house-to-be?) so this book pretty much fit the bill. I started reading it on the weekend when my brain was particularly mottled by my cold so I should be through it and on to something else by next week!
